NFPS exerts neuroprotection via glyR alpha1 subunit in the rat model of transient focal cerebral ischaemia and reperfusion. NFPS is a selective and non-competitive glycine transporter-1 (GlyT1) inhibitor (IC50s: 2.8 nM and 9.8 nM for hGlyT1 and rGlyT1, respectively).
Odiparcil is an orally active beta-d-thioxyloside analog. Odiparcil is an indirect thrombin inhibitor that exerts its anticoagulant effect through activation of antithrombin II (heparin cofactor II). It also has an antithrombotic activity associated with a reduced risk of adverse bleeding events.
